WE ARE RECEIVING A KINGDOM
© Copyright Gates of Praise Ministries 2006
God is shaking all things that are not of him. All things not built upon His truth and who he
is will crumble. We need not fear, but to fear not having His truth in this life. We submit to
God, resist the devil and he flees. We at this present moment those who are calling upon
Him and submitting, are being delivered from evil. God moves us forward and gives us
specific tasks, and yes, sometimes you might feel like a salmon swimming upstream to
spawn and die, but the fact is we are to die to the flesh daily. The day that we were
converted, our eyes were opened to the darkness, if that wasn't so, we would have given
up. God's power is released upon His people, we are supernatural and not of this earth. It is
a great transformation! The disciples asked Jesus to teach them to pray, He taught them
what we call the Lord's prayer.......deliver us from evil, for thine is the kingdom, the power
and the glory, forever and ever amen. God's voice is shaking the earth, His voice is truth
and he is the destroyer of evil. Evil is revealed as it is being destroyed. God shakes this
earth and he starts with the church first. Yesterday on the news, a video showed a man in
another country who was riding his motorcycle and was hit by a truck. The man was
instantly killed and lay in the street for minutes, cars passed him by and no one stopped to
even check on him, this was in broad daylight and taped for all to see. That was evil being
exposed. His life was considered by others as just a piece of trash. This goes on everyday,
everywhere. This is not suppose to be! Many hearts are waxing cold today, many will do
nothing, that is not the heart of God or His people. We are to keep our eyes and ears
open.......we are His representatives, we must build up those around us and show them
pure Godly compassion. He expects it. Jesus said, "Why call me Lord, and do not do what
I say?" God will shake all things to get our attention! He will move us to compassion by
allowing tragedy. Many do not believe that, but I do. Our Holy God, is a God of
compassion and mercy, he sent Jesus to teach us and lead us in the way we are to go.
Jesus sent the Holy Spirit to equip us in this life, that we would be continuously delivered
from evil. He expects us to use what He has given us to profit the kingdom. God is bigger
than our religions, thank God!
In Hebrews 12:25, there is a warning, it says; " See that ye refuse not Him that speaketh:
for if they escaped not who who refused Him that spake on earth, much more shall not we
escape, if we turn away from Him that speaketh from heaven; and this word, yet once
more, signifies the removing of those things that are shaken, as of things that are made,
and those things which cannot be shaken may remain. Wherefore we receiving a kingdom
which cannot be moved, let us have grace, whereby we may serve God acceptably with
reverence and godly fear: for our God is a consuming fire." Since the day we were
converted, born-again by His Spirit, breathed on by the Holy Spirit it was about
overcoming evil. Jesus is praying for us right now that we do overcome. He is the Great
Shepard our God of peace, love and joy, truth and righteousness and does not favor people
but gives favor to people. We are to release that on one another, He is moving and shaking
that which can be shaken, so that what cannot be shaken will remain. His Spirit, church,
body, Bride is what He looking out for.
Hebrews 12 Receiving a Kingdom!
We Have Been Adopted into His Kingdom
We are the royal priesthood, being built upon the Rock Christ Jesus. He is the head of the
church, our voice in the midnight hour. We are to be different as His spirit is moving
within us. Move forward in your calling and we are to understand that evil is being
destroyed when we walk in faith and power. He is doing it, not us. We are to build up one
another in the most holy faith. Being critical will get you nowhere, that is not our job, we
are kingdom building people, and He starts with us. Jesus said, I am the root and the
offspring of David, and the bright and morning star! It was written, "And the Spirit and the
bride say Come. And let him that heareth say, Come. And let him that is athirst come and
whosoever will, let him take the water of life freely. " Rev. 22:17 God has given His church
the power to rise up daily and to allow His Spirit of fire to flow through our spirits.
Whatever you need today, He will give it, as you are building up those around you in God.
They may not know Jesus, but the power of God in you is what will convince them to
come. It is only by the Holy Spirit that can draw men to God. So, stir up the gifts within
you, shine and demonstrate Him on this earth. He will give you new life as you do it. Let's
go!
In Covenant Keeping!
